A few days later, in Qiancheng, the westernmost part of Zhongzhou, Liu Rui and his party finally arrived at their destination.

Under the leadership of Cheng Jiuling, Liu Rui followed Cheng Jiuling and entered Qiancheng, and after registering with the county guard, Cheng Jiuling ordered the rest of the guards to rest in Qiancheng, and then under the leadership of the county soldiers sent by the county guard.

Cheng Jiuling and Liu Rui took the relevant documents issued by the county guard and went to the Xishan military camp in the Xishan in the southwest of Qiancheng to report. Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the gate of the barracks.

After the county soldiers showed the token, the guards opened the camp gate, and Liu Rui and others came directly to the Chinese military tent unimpeded.

Liu Rui looked around curiously, Liu Rui had set foot in the real military camp for the first time since he was born. The orderly tents in the barracks are scattered on the mountain, and the guards and guards patrolling around are all bright-eyed and burly, and as far as Liu Rui knows, the entire Xishan military camp has a total of more than 100,000 troops. Among them, there are more than 3,000 royal elites, and the Shengyuan army is stationed here.

The biggest duty of the entire military camp is to be the largest defense force in the western part of the imperial capital, to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, in addition, there is another duty, because it is located in the west of Zhongzhou, with Qiancheng as the center, within a radius of 100 miles, is a huge spiritual stone vein, Liu Rui has also heard that cultivators generally use spiritual stones to accelerate the absorption of heaven and earth spiritual energy to cultivate. Moreover, among cultivators, in addition to bartering, spirit stones also exist as a form of currency.

For the onmyoji, the role of the spirit stone is even more prominent, the onmyoji need to use the spirit stone to arrange the rune array, and use the spirit stone to release more powerful runes.

Therefore, the imperial dynasty imprisoned many prisoners and captives of foreign races here, engaged in the task of mining for the imperial dynasty, the task of the army here is to monitor the mining of prisoners, and if there is a superb spirit stone, the army will mine it himself, and because there are also people with deep cultivation among the prisoners, it is necessary to have the Shengyuan army stationed here in case of accidents.

Moreover, I heard Cheng Jiuling say on the road before that the soldiers here are basically cultivators in the early stage of the foundation building period, and those who are excellent can even reach the qi gathering period.

And the Shengyuan army stationed here is all cultivation above the Qi Gathering Period, and the three captains should all be the same as Cheng Jiuling, with the cultivation of the Bone Forging Period.

Moreover, the commander here, that is, the supreme commander of the more than 100,000 troops and the 3,000 Shengyuan army, is Liu Rui's uncle, the eighth prince of the former Shengyun Emperor, Liu Xuan, who was named the king of Shu by the current Shengwu Emperor and was appointed as the supreme commander of the Xishan military camp. He has the cultivation of the early stage of the Heavenly Realm. At that time, he was the strong successor to the throne of the next emperor, but for some reason, even after Emperor Shengwu ascended the throne, not only did he not have the slightest suspicion of his half-brother who was more than ten years older than him.

This is also deeply trusted by Emperor Shengwu, controlling the army of more than 100,000 imperial dynasties, guarding the western part of the imperial capital, and thinking that it is a barrier, which makes everyone in the imperial family talk in private.

Just when Liu Rui's thoughts were drifting, the two of them had already come to the big tent of the Chinese army under the guidance of the guards, and after the guards reported, a soft voice came from inside the big tent, "Come in"

The guard bowed down and retreated to the side, opened the curtain of the big tent, Liu Rui was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized, straightened his clothes, and took the lead towards the big tent, while Cheng Jiuling was a figure behind, and followed Liu Rui out closely.

When Liu Rui walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, he looked up and was slightly surprised, there was a man wearing a purple and gold robe, a white scarf on his head, and his hair was scattered on his shoulders at will, although his face was handsome, but his face was feminine, not at all like the supreme commander who commanded more than 100,000 troops.

In Liu Rui's view, it is not so much a child of the royal family in an important position as a child of a family with extreme pleasure.

However, Liu Rui's stunned expression was only a momentary matter, and then he immediately hid his surprised look, and the other party was not only a person in a high position, but also his uncle, so there could be no rudeness.

However, Liu Rui's small movements and slight changes in expression did not escape Liu Xuan's gaze, Liu Xuan's mind turned, and he knew what Liu Rui was thinking, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

At this time, Liu Rui bowed and saluted, and said in his mouth: "Nephew Rui, I have seen Uncle Huang." "Because Liu Rui did not serve in the imperial dynasty, according to the rules of the clan, except for the need to kneel and bow to the emperor and his father, the rest of the royal family can bow and salute. And Cheng Jiuling, who was behind him, paid homage with a big salute, and said: "The last general will see His Royal Highness the King of Shu." ”

Liu Xuan bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "Rui'er doesn't have to be polite, uncle is not an outsider, Jiuling, you are also exempt from courtesy." ”

"Uncle Xie (King of Shu)" Liu Rui and Cheng Jiuling said in unison.

Immediately, the two stood up respectfully and respectfully, Liu Xuan looked at Liu Rui with interest, the only son of Liu Xiu, his nineteenth emperor brother, the king of sainthood, and the commander of more than half of the imperial army, known as the most naughty in the imperial capital and the most famous prodigy in the royal family.

Liu Xuan thought of Liu Xiu from Liu Rui, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. However, because Liu Rui and Cheng Jiuling were both looking straight ahead, they didn't notice Liu Xuan's slight abnormality.

Sumeru, Liu Xuan showed a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Rui'er, has it been smooth all the way?" I didn't have any trouble. The tone is gentle, like a kind and kind elder.

Liu Rui replied respectfully: "Thank you uncle for your concern, my nephew didn't encounter trouble along the way, and the journey went smoothly." ”

Liu Xuan nodded, "The imperial family has established training, and all school-age children must participate in the training of the Xishan military camp, here, there is no royal family, only soldiers." Whether it's you or any other child, this king will treat everyone equally, Rui'er, do you understand? ”

"My nephew remembers what his uncle taught."

Liu Xuan beckoned, and Cheng Jiuling, who was standing on a plate, immediately stepped forward and respectfully handed over the previous documents to Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan stretched out a white and flawless arm, like a woman, and took it. He took out his own seal and stamped it with a large seal.

He was immediately handed over to the guards beside him.

"The children of the trainees, including Rui'er, have a total of sixty-seven people, including twenty children of the royal family, and the rest are the children of the nobles of the meritorious family, your task is to receive military training in the morning, and assign you to a mine in the afternoon, supervise the mining of prisoners, and do a good job of registering accordingly, whether it is mining, or the behavior of prisoners, you must pay attention to them one by one, and then compare them with the quartermaster. Its performance is used as the standard of assessment, and those who do not meet the standards will never be hired. ”

Liu Xuan said this, exuding a hint of coercion on his body, slowed down for a while, and then said, "Those who arrived before have been assigned rooms and the mines they are responsible for one by one, Rui'er, you are the last to arrive, wait until the quartermaster receives the identity card and the corresponding things, and tomorrow, I will start training." Got it? ”

"Nephew understands."

Liu Xuan bowed slightly, "Cheng Jiuling, you can return to the imperial capital to restore your life, and after that, they will have the royal family's flying dragon car to send back to the imperial capital." ”

"No" Cheng Jiuling bowed and saluted.
